Life Members chung Posted February 12, 2017 Life Members Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Paul, Alan McBride & myself paid him a visit on Friday lunch time, he was very chatty & in good spirit. He said he should be out by Monday or Tuesday & hopefully be BACK to work on Wednesday. Not sure if he was serious or it was the morphine Hope that helps!

Richie Cross Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi. I went to see him when I left the clubrooms this afternoon. By the time I found Ward 61, he was just getting the good news to be allowed home gregbalden and charlie p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted February 12, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Guys Massive thanks for your kind messages and to those of u who visited me in hospital. Don't think I was great company but your kindness and support really touched me especially at a time when I was feeling quite melancholic.Not got much recollection of crash. Remember a young fella nearly taking me out about 3 laps earlier then remember being in 3 rd last lap as had made decision to go for sprint with 2 to go. Unfortunately crashed on bend of 3rd last lap.Had no idea what caused crash. Remember guy telling me I had been out cold for 90 secs. In ambulance another rider involved in crash told me that he and another fella touched wheels and came down. I presume they took me down but if any one heard anything different please let me know. Also are the other riders ok. I sustained a left neck femur fracture left rib fractures a head injury and a few bruises.The consultant told me that femur op went well but unfortunately chest X Ray today Showed a very small left pleural effusion so my recovery may be longer than I first thought. This has been my 3rd serious bike crash in as many years so time for me to pause & reflect. My wife is already trying to invoke 3 strikes and you are out rule. I have already conceded track cycling but jury still out for the road but as Prof Gunson recovered from a far more serious crash than mine feel it would be rude not to keep him company for the first part of a run at least. Once again many thanks for your remarkable support Charlie Richie Cross, alexb, Colin McPhee and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Glad to hear you're home Charlie. All the best for a speedy recovery. Not being the most medically minded person I've had to google the terminology describing your injuries. I wish I hadn't. I much preferred the strained groin version! Any lawyer worth his salt will find a loophole in the 3 strikes rule. Look forward to a recuperative moretti in Amarone soon. Best wishes. charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al yuille Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 We can't lose you Charlie - may be time to set up that Gentlemen's touring section that the prof is always talking about. Plenty of time to recuperate before the North Coast 500. Slow(er) is the new fast. Speedy recovery. Darryl Gunson and charlie p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions James Posted February 13, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Charlie, Not much more to say from the comments made by big Alan and the rest of the troops.

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted February 13, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I know it's not in your nature to do things by half Charlie, but like big Alan says there's still plenty of fun to be had on the bike without the risk that racing brings... Hope you're feeling a bit better today, and look forward to seeing you back out on the bike as soon as... Should be fit just in time for summer charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 13, 2017 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm sure you'll be on the bike soon Charlie, but understand from my own experience that these incidents force us to take stock. Why not join us for the North Coast 500 this August? As others have said, there's much more to cycling than racing, although I imagine there will be kudos for the first to the hostel on each 'stage' charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted February 18, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Charlie I am just catching up with all this. Speedy recovery! Track is, IMHO, much riskier than road. Therefore I reluctantly sold my track bike. (That was two strikes) Recent faux pas counts as three but then where is the fun in gardening?? Get well soon and I'll see you on the road. charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
